Audrey Mutschall here with a fall layout featuring Paige’s Pumpkin Wreath and her Tricks & Treats and Adventurous collections!
I started by cutting the Pumpkin Wreath from white cardstock and backing the pumpkins with plaid Paper 7. I glued most of the pumpkins directly to the back of the cut file and then used foam tape to stick a few of them beneath the cut file. This creates depth and shadows, which adds interest to an otherwise flat cut file. When the cut file was completely backed I chose a few places to adhere layered pumpkins. I created these by simply cutting four pumpkins of the same color, folding them in half, and then gluing the back sides to each other. When they fan out, they make cute little dimensional pumpkins! Next I spent some time stitching three flowers from the Embroidery Kit and then arranging them at the bottom of the pumpkin wreath. I stuck everything down on a white background splattered lightly with black acrylic paint and then embellished with Enamel Dots. I mounted my photo on a pink patterned paper from the Adventurous Boxed Cards and tucked it into the right side of the wreath. I added a title using one of the Puffy Phrase Stickers and Mini Alpha Thickers and then embellished with a few flowers and leaves from the Floral Die Cuts.
